About the series
In the early 1990s, Trident Comics launched The Saga of the Man-Elf, a five-issue fantasy series exploring the origins of a half-human, half-elf protagonist caught between two warring worlds. Best known for its moody, painted covers and the work of writer Martin Lock and artist John Hicklenton, the series stands as a cult artifact of the British independent comics boom. Its brief, intense run offers a darkly atmospheric take on traditional sword-and-sorcery tropes, making it a curious footnote for fans of early-90s genre experimentation.
